Description
本發明是關於一種檢測系統及方法,特別是關於一種半導體製程零配件的質變檢測系統及方法。The invention relates to a detection system and method, in particular to a qualitative change detection system and method of semiconductor manufacturing process parts.
半導體製造廠的生產設備約佔總成本的80%,由於這些半導體生產設備所使用之製程零配件種類多、成本高,且大部分的製程零配件更換頻率難精準預估,因而如何同時兼顧機台妥善率及成本控制,一直是半導體產業面臨的難題之一。The production equipment of semiconductor manufacturing plants accounts for about 80% of the total cost. Because these semiconductor production equipment uses a large variety of process parts and high costs, and most of the process parts replacement frequency is difficult to accurately predict, how to take into account the machine at the same time Taiwan proper rate and cost control have always been one of the problems facing the semiconductor industry.
半導體製造的良率受半導體生產設備之半導體製程零配件的妥善率的影響很大,任何半導體製程零配件上的微細缺陷或表面上殘留的微細分子,都可能成為半導體生產過程的污染源。在高階製程中,由於製程線徑的縮小,之前對良率不會造成影響的微細分子,將可能嚴重影響半導體製造的品質。因此,半導體製程零配件在使用過後必須經過清洗以及檢測來汰換已質變且不堪使用的製程零配件來避免汙染源的產生,以滿足高階製程需求。The yield rate of semiconductor manufacturing is greatly affected by the proper rate of the semiconductor process parts of the semiconductor production equipment. Any minute defects on the semiconductor process parts or remaining fine molecules on the surface may become a source of pollution in the semiconductor production process. In the high-end manufacturing process, due to the shrinking of the process wire diameter, the fine molecules that did not affect the yield rate before may seriously affect the quality of semiconductor manufacturing. Therefore, after use, semiconductor process parts must be cleaned and inspected to replace process parts that have changed in quality and are unusable to avoid the generation of pollution sources to meet high-end process requirements.
然而,這些半導體製程零配件經過一定的使用時數後可能發生質變,即便經過清洗,也無法滿足高階製程需求。這時候,必須對半導體製程零配件進行更換。現今對半導體製程零配件進行更換的時機掌握,通常是依靠經驗值或者利用檢測工具來達成。然而,單依靠經驗值的結果往往在半導體製程零配件尚處於堪用的狀態下就使其退役,有利用效益低落之弊,而目前所能利用的檢測工具也只能測得這些製程零配件的尺寸變化,無法精確得知半導體製程零配件在微細缺陷發生前的性質改變,對於高階製程來說,並不足以精準判斷出經過一定使用時數或清洗時數後之半導體製程零配件的品質好壞。However, these semiconductor process parts may undergo qualitative changes after a certain number of hours of use, and even after cleaning, they cannot meet high-end process requirements. At this time, the semiconductor process parts must be replaced. Nowadays, the timing of the replacement of semiconductor process parts is usually achieved by relying on experience or using testing tools. However, the result of relying solely on experience values is often decommissioned when the semiconductor process parts are still in a usable state, which has the disadvantage of low utilization efficiency, and currently available inspection tools can only measure these process parts Dimensional changes, it is impossible to accurately know the nature of semiconductor process parts before the occurrence of micro-defects. For high-end processes, it is not enough to accurately determine the quality of semiconductor process parts after a certain number of hours of use or cleaning. Good or bad.
為解決此問題,以滿足高階製程需求,有需要提出一種可以精準檢測出經一段時間使用或清洗後之半導體製程零配件的好壞差異的半導體製程零配件的質變檢測系統。In order to solve this problem and meet the needs of high-end processes, it is necessary to propose a qualitative change detection system for semiconductor process parts that can accurately detect the difference in quality of semiconductor process parts after a period of use or cleaning.

步驟409:以光學檢測單元檢測待測的半導體製程零配件。一實施例中,如圖1及圖2所示,拉曼光譜儀11利用第一光耦接埠111出射一光束,例如是雷射光,經過光學檢測單元12後投射在一待測的半導體製程零配件2上,使待測的半導體製程零配件2激發出散射光,進而對散射光的拉曼光譜(Raman Spectra)進行量測,來自拉曼光譜儀11的出射光束經光投射埠122後投射在待測的半導體製程零配件2的目標區域A上,而來自待測的半導體製程零配件2的目標區域A激發的帶有第一拉曼光譜信號的拉曼散射光經光投射埠122傳回至拉曼光譜儀11。Step 409: Detect the semiconductor process parts to be tested with an optical detection unit.
